About CBEI
Purpose and Objectives: Problem Statement
Demand is increasing for a commercial buildings workforce with advanced competencies in operations, maintenance and energy-related technologies. DOE recently released the Better Buildings Workforce Guidelines, voluntary national guidelines to improve the quality and consistency of commercial building workforce credentials for four key energy-related jobs: Building Energy Auditor, Building Commissioning Professional, Building Operations Professional and Energy Manager.
The industry needs documented career and development pathways and a clear representation of the competencies required in each role in order to accelerate the movement of competent people into these jobs.

Purpose and Objectives: Target Market and Audience
1. Professional associations and training & education providers involved in workforce development including trades unions, veterans organizations, associations for architects and engineers, etcetera, so they can counsel workers and establish training and other programs to support movement into the four energy-related jobs
2. Policymakers seeking to link program funding with recognized credentials
3. Job-seekers seeking guidance on entry points and career advancement
4. Employers seeking guidance on talent recruitment and cultivation
Purpose and Objectives: Impact of Project
• Output #1: As of April 10, 2015, the ACBW Competency Model is housed on the Department of Labor’s Competency Model Clearinghouse. It is a resource for industry which documents the foundational and technical skills and competencies required for workplace success and provides a resource for the development of curriculum, certifications, and the tests that assess work-related competencies.
• Output #2: The ACBW Career Map beta website depicts clear workforce development pathways and career progressions into the advanced commercial buildings workforce (ACBW). It is an easy-to-understand representation of the four job titles, associated credentials and pathways to obtain the credentials and advanced positions.

Purpose and Objectives: Impact of Project (con’t)
This project will contribute to substantial improvement in workforce readiness and the demand for and employment of qualified workers in the following ways:
• Near-term – the ACBW Career Map will be used to educate training and education providers and professional associations about the existence of the Better Buildings Workforce Guidelines and associated credentials and spur them to modify and create curricula aligned with the credentials. Veterans groups and community colleges have already provided feedback indicating the career map will be valuable for this purpose
• Intermediate – trades unions, veterans’ employment organizations and other groups supporting displaced workers will use the career map to counsel job seekers; employers will use the competency model to create job descriptions, establish qualifications for positions and develop internal training programs; policy makers (including state and local officials and public utility commissions) will link requirements for qualifications and energy efficiency programming to credentials
7
Purpose and Objectives: Impact of Project (con’t)
This project will contribute to substantial improvement in workforce readiness and the demand for and employment of qualified workers in the following ways:
• Long-term – the ACBW Career Map is a go-to resource for all audiences and is accelerating the employment and career progressions of people into the advanced commercial buildings workforce
• One of the pillars of DOE’s Better Buildings Initiative to make commercial buildings 20% more energy efficient over the next 10 years is “Developing a Skilled Clean Energy Workforce”
→Guiding people into ACBW careers helps to achieve this goal

Approach
Research-based process integrating existing industry data,
industry interviews, thematic analysis, and prioritization
• Updated Competency Model with revised Job Task Analyses
• Attended Scheme Committee meetings for each of four credentials
• Interviewed 30 people in the advanced commercial buildings workforce
• Interviews provided information to highlight “Performance Competencies” for each job title that contribute to successful business processes
• Career Map entry points and pathways determined from interviews and thematic analysis
• Focused on strategic entry points for:
Veterans Building & Trades
Graduates Energy Professionals

Approach
Key Issues: • Significant overlap and confusion exists across
job titles and shared job responsibilities • Extensive knowledge and skills associated with
positions (e.g. Energy Auditor) blurs understanding of critical performance competencies that are needed to advance advanced energy retrofit business processes
Distinctive Characteristics: • Utilized proven methods such as Job Task
Analysis and basic competency model format and enhanced with unique insights such as performance competencies (e.g. what makes someone particularly good at their job)
• Visual, user friendly tool to engage with the workforce to enter into or to advance in this industry

Next Steps and Future Plans • The beta Career Map created in this budget period will be tested with various target
audiences. Using feedback from the test users, a revised version of the Map will be completed and a long-term web host and sustainability plan will be identified
• Using DOE’s, NIBS’ and other commercial workforce networks, develop and execute a plan for wide-spread dissemination of the career map. 3-4 webinars will be conducted targeted at these networks to help them understand the career map and how it relates to the broader advanced commercial buildings workforce standards and credentials. Webinars will be recorded and available for online use.
